“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

“Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.”
― Zelda Fitzgerald

“When things fall apart, the broken pieces allow all sorts of things to enter, and one of them is the presence of God.”
― Shauna Niequist, Bittersweet: Thoughts on Change, Grace, and Learning the Hard Way

“In the world I am
Always a stranger
I do not understand its language
It does not understand my silence”
― Bei Dao
